Alxis Texas Black Guys

How, where, what, white OBI - but it betrays no!

Last weekend I took during our search for the geocache GC1WWH1 "Trau Dich 20 - Old Customs House "in Leipzig my beautiful screwdriver bits with the practical changes are lost. The piece had accompanied me faithfully for many years and several moves away. Now it's on a lift, stuck in his chute and probably never would budge.

This afternoon I was at OBI to buy a replacement for this loss. The screwdriver-shelf in the tool room but there was only one model with interchangeable bits. This whopping cost € 22.49 and had a handle so small obscurities that probably could not even work properly with my sweetheart. For me, he was certainly much too small.

So I times an OBI-employee who was working nearby at a snail's pace with the granting of a shelf, addressed to him held the screwdriver under the nose and asked: "Is this for men?" The guy just stared until pretty stupid, but when I then told him that I was looking for a screwdriver with a larger handle, he said, no, that was unfortunately the only model with interchangeable bits.

found little later I happened to be in a completely different shelf between terminals and various other metal fuss a whole basket full of beautiful screwdriver with a sufficiently thick handle and a variety of interchangeable screwdriver bits. It costs only € 3.29 and had, in contrast to the almost seven times as expensive other model even on a telescopic magnet, for example, to remove a fallen screws.

When I later the same OBI staff accusing this screwdriver was held in front of his nose, he was not surprised, but replied smoothly. "Yes, but that's just cheap goods" Oh, I thought to myself, now I feel so quite clearly! OBI would obviously only sell expensive products, even if they make the customer happy at all, and even at the risk that the customer buys it elsewhere.

How, where and what appeared to know OBI exactly, but rather it reveals anything, but is even (apparently knowingly) false information to rip around the customer. I guess - to an older OBI advertising coming back - in iron-Karl would not have happened! Too bad it does not make as great in Bielefeld dealer for metal products such as Ohlendorf is in Brunswick, or I would have seen the orange Eichhörnchenwemser the last time ...!

Lost Place: Trau Dich 17 - Age Postbahnhof Leipzig

Last Sunday was the Mietz and I, along with Stabru Frank once again on the big Lost Place tour and thereby have chosen five-place Lost and found caches in Leipzig. When you open Eye travels through the city seems to be just Leipzig, to develop into one big lost place well on its way. So many empty buildings, only the dilapidated state until the dilapidated ruin, I have seen such a small area anywhere else. In part, these are even in the middle of town, almost next to the new buildings in the center or take renewed after the turn of Central Station.

In recent years many of these buildings were moved to Lost-place caches. Special (also national) attention in the geocaching scene has to be the "wedding you" acquired series, and rightly so. Old industrial buildings, printing plants, the former flour mills and underground escape bunkers are just a few examples of places that are introduced in this series. This weekend we have among others the geocaches GC1WWH1 "Trust you 20 - Old Customs House" and GC1NFFK "Trust yourself 17 - retirement Postbahnhof Leipzig" visits.

At the beginning of the 20th Century showed that the old Leipzig railway mail facilities to the ever-increasing mail traffic had grown less and less. Therefore, the establishment of a new central post office railway station and railway post office was decided. As the site was an area north of the Leipzig-Dresden railway line to the southern corridor Schönefelder selected. The total costs amounted including the acquisition of land by the 5 million mark. On 1 February 1912, almost three years before the opening of the Leipzig Central Station could post the Leipzig station will be commissioned.

The main building of the Leipzig post station is 200 m long and has a covered area of 16,000 square feet. The achtbogige hall is designed as a terminal station object spanned 26 tracks (13 and 13 for the Prussian king for the Saxon State Railways) and 16 platforms. The place for up to 90 railway mail cars made the biggest railway station to the Leipzig post delivery system of its time. In the year 1913 in the postal station Leipzig 10.4 million units and 4.8 million pieces of outgoing incoming packets handled. Were also added another 36 million units in transit.

Over time, the postal station has been continuously extended and improved technically. It was made in 1936 of a large pipe Pond Road extension completed, the operational requirements could meet up to the closing 1994th With the transformation of the German Federal Post Office in the German Post AG asked this one the web Post throughout the country and moved the mail transport on the road and into the air. The listed building facilities of the Leipzig railway station post vacant since then.

following I would like a few illustrative pictures of the morbid fascination and the beauty imagine this lost places. Overall, I'm in the hours we spent on the site, shot 190 photos that I post on this course, not all. Rational observer might see in these pictures may only decline, imaginative people will open up, however, that here every stone breathes the breath of history. At this point, but expressly stated that the admission of such a site, of course, is always at your own risk. Every visitor should always be the personal responsibility of his actions are conscious.

Mount And Blade How To Get A Wife

fun with CD-burning programs

Until a few years ago I went walking always good to my original music CDs in the car with me. Later than the tenth expensive original CD, which was either destroyed irreversibly by exposure to summer heat or unfortunately, my rabid little CD player, I have a better leader and sober since then only copies of my precious CDs. The originals are all kept safe at home so I can call when needed. Except for a few CDs as well as free legal downloaded music from the internet some rather exotic heavy metal bands, for example from Russia and Brazil I have of course no copies of music in the car, I have not previously purchased legally. This is a precaution at this point said that, to avoid smart-alecky comments about copyright. After

had later this summer once again adopted a few years ago my copied CDs to weather conditions, I had planned for some time to replace it. To my surprise, I found, however, neither on my newly bought laptop in the meantime, yet also in the meantime on my newly purchased desktop PC in software menu, any program that would have been able to copy audio CDs. And even though both computers do not only have a CD burner, but have been touted as a software-fully equipped from the factory. Apparently, it is with such promises related to the election promises in politics: If it arrives after the fact, they are not even worth the paper on which they were printed.

On my laptop I finally found somewhere in an old Sonic installation that I had miterworben appeared some years ago with any purchased software package, but had never used the absence of demand, a burning software that claimed to be able to copy CDs. Its results were, however, was not even the lowest quality standards, because the resulting CD was full already in the first track only seems like it annoying quirks, pauses and clicks. The other programs I found did not help: Burn4Free can not copy audio CDs, and other programs such as Apple iTunes or Windows Media Player can import but well-CD content as MP3 files and possibly again after burn to CDs, but the one is the very latest on several CDs too cumbersome and the other is converting to mp3 format simply lost too much of the original data.

self is the User! So I searched the internet for a while CD-burning programs that will be able to copy audio CDs. In some forums I found this first evidence of a program with the beautiful name feurio! , which can be downloaded as shareware for free evaluation from the Internet. When trying to test it, the program, however, recognized my CD burner, and seemed not to be so overwhelmed at first hopeless. It required me to select a compatible burning mode from a long list with me totally unknown setting for any exotic CD-Writer with some completely cryptic name - a task that probably could possibly solve an absolute professional, while the average user so of course completely would be overwhelmed. So I butt the first, default mode is selected and make the program despite several warnings just leave.

seemed in contrast to the previously tested, first burning program feurio! copy the CD to be able to easily. The sound quality seemed excellent at first glance, there was no interference or dropouts. When you complete listening to the CD I started but then after some time to wonder etws that the track display stopped at the second track, which seemed to be according to the display of my CD player any longer and longer and in fact the entire rest of the CD included, however, more than an hour. After the last note of the CD was over, the track was strangely still further. When the last note then about every ten seconds and began to repeat the CD player so that does not stop to do seemed, I finally realized that I had already burned up a blank CD useless.

The tracks 3 to 11, which gave me the CD player after all, still indicated, could no longer be played, the unit sought by the content of the tracks of a wolf. Apparently had feurio! Although the contents of the CD yet written correctly on the silver disc, all written contents of the second to eleventh track but in the second track and then the rest of the CD a bit screwy. Somehow I made this experience unfortunately little courage, nor any Furthermore, the experiment proposed by the program modes, especially since I could not find any documentation for this anywhere. That after this fiasco, of course, felt no desire to earn the program commercially, but I uninstalled it instead, again, is probably somewhat understandable ...

found in another discussion forum I followed several references to a free program called Exact Audio Copy , which (as the name suggests) also should be able to copy audio CDs. To my delight, the program immediately recognized after installing my CD-Writer and claimed to have no problems with this model also. So I put an original to be copied CD, and chose from the menu the copy function. Then bleated the program, it is not a recordable CD in the drive. Well, I thought to myself, I just put a, the software will already know what it does. Far from it! After inserting tried Exact Audio Copy to read a long time (obviously in vain), the tracks from the original CD demm just inserted blank. Then it crashed with an incomprehensible error message. This behavior was repeatedly reproduced.

Apparently Exact Audio Copy is with computers that do not have two separate drives have to read and write CDs, desperately overstretched. It really is so rare! Pity that some developers can not think of their own hardware configuration out. You can set the drives to be used, unfortunately, nowhere. So there was only one thing, uninstall this program immediately. With the provided uninstaller software away unfortunately neither residue like Feurio!, Because both the entries were both back in the start menu and the program folder and then had to be manually removed. From the mp3 Encocer I get me somewhere else and manually install it (and of course remove it again) had once let alone.

In the third attempt I managed to finally after all, a useful program for copying to find CDs. It's called CDBurnerXP comes, apparently from Sweden and is completely free. It recognizes my CD combo drive and burn easily, at least according to all my previous attempts to go by, yet it has been flawless CDs. Slightly irritated, I am still considering the fact that the program claimed that I use blanks imation would allegedly allow no test-writing, so I used the same blanks from the same package (I do not really burn many CDs, a 50-spindle stops with me forever and a day) have never had any problems.

It also raises the original CD after reading no automatic off, so I'm not quite sure what happens when you before loading the new CD-R "burning" on clicks, and I want to try it even better for safety's sake. But in the end counts but only the result, and it's probably better if the software (even without a test letter, but with some thinking along user side) produces perfect CDs, as if in spite of multiple useless gimmicks in the program, hours of alleged tests and Warnings user from his own stupidity at the end yet again, only useless when burning CDs come out. So I will use this program now, just continue, and if I have anything new should have to report it, I will do so when the opportunity too. And until then I can all but said so well advertised, other burning programs will remain even stolen!

My Experience As Kidney Cyst Herbal

Impressions from the "Lost Place Camp

Perhaps I should preface this article, a brief explanation of the term "Lost Place. Let us therefore first speak Wikipedia :

The term Lost Place is a word from the English-speaking world and means something like "forgotten place". Mostly it is buildings from the recent history that have been either not yet been viewed historically (and recorded), or due to their lack of importance no public interest and are therefore not considered as particularly noteworthy.

[The term] Lost Place is often synonymous with industrial ruins or no longer needed used military installations. Actually, the term but is used for any place that has come in the context of its original use in oblivion. In particular, these include places that are not consciously preserved for posterity by a wide audience and made available as industrial monuments.

The fascination of these places lies precisely in this lack of originality and the (tourism) development, which offers visitors the chance, even go to "discover" and experience this history first hand and to be able to individually. On the other hand, involves the nature of places and sometimes underestimated dangers. Furthermore, the admission of such places is rarely defined clearly in law, so visitors lost places also act sometimes rather anonymous.

A most interesting are the Lost Place Albuhera + Victoria Barracks Werl. This former barracks of the British armed forces in Germany were on 20 07. closed 1994th Meanwhile, the location has spread not only in circles of Lost-place fans. On the site there is a geocache called "Lost Place Camp (GC1C7FH) is qualified Unfortunately, some of the most interesting parts of the barracks site omits. But the fire the terrain has made the venue for large-scale exercises. Well, hopefully not all from the torches ...

The following photos are meant to give the reader of this blog some impressions of the fascination of such a "lost" site, which is largely left to the wind and weather, and is since then gradually regained from nature. Rational observer might see in these pictures may only decline, imaginative people will open up, however, that here every stone breathes the breath of history. At this point but was expressly pointed out that the admission of such a site, of course, always at your own risk. Every visitor should always be the personal responsibility of his actions are conscious.
